Criterion Project: Need for Speed dubbed "Out of the Law" fake.
There was a rumour started on nfsunlimited.ru that the current project Criterion is working on is called Out of the Law as poorly translated as it was, could either have been Outside the law, or Outlaw. Either way. This rumour is being put to bed immediately as Fake. Criterion IS working on a Need For Speed Project, however its title has still yet to be announced.
The images posted below have too many flaws in it to be considered legit screen shots.
1. No Official EA NFS Logo as shown here
2. The text beside the EA logo states "Street racing is not a crime. Well, it is but f*ck it". Obviously No matter what marketing ploys you look at, EA does not resort to improper use of language on any promotional image.
3. This ploy has been done before if you remember the fake postings about Ferrari's being in ProStreet and using Nude models in the article as well. (Polygamia.pl)
4. Was not announced by anyone from the official list of NFS Community Sites.
5. EA would not use the same BMW M3 constantly unless getting a significant amount of cash bonus from BMW to use it constantly.
So until you hear the news from the Official EA NFS Site, NFSCars or a direct affiliate of both, I'm sure it would be wise to question the validity of the information.

This rumour is seriously looks like a fail....
As much of a failure as it is; personally this game sounded awesome. Especialyl the part about customisable license plates. Now if we can just make our own vinyls and things in-game. (Like the NASCAR Heat game) where yo ucan paint the car; it would be all good.
this is a combination (BURNOUT PARADISE-and-JUICED 2)
i think.......
it is so fake the cars are not even close to real
If they put bikes in Need For Speed this will be the catastrophe of NFS.
Yes The Pretender I think the same NFS always is a car game not bikes that could ruine the saga
It's been ruined since 2003, if you haven't noticed yet :P
Somehow bikes were acclaimed in Burnout Paradise and TDU. Why not introduce them in NFS? Obviously there could be a separate career for motorbikes as it's pointless to mix 180kg bikes with 1500+ kg cars, though I suppose it SOMEHOW worked in TDU...
But I wouldn't be suprised if bikes were actually in CG's new NFS game.
Only thing that can worry me is overall handling physics. It was bit edgy in BRT. Hopefully it won't be like that in NFS14.
TDU also had you stop immediately if you hit a cop car. being busted is not the NFS way.
It looks really like a fake... Anyway, as a wallpaper the second picture is nice! ;) I don't think the Need for Speed-saga is ruined since 2003, because Underground was a very good game. But Underground 2 is actually not a new game, it's just Underground with a few new features. Most Wanted was the best Need for Speed ever, I think. Carbon was again just a new version of Most Wanted. ProStreet was the bottom of the Need for Speed story. Undercover was a remix from Most Wanted. Shift is now a game, that try to go back to the old Need for Speed games. If the next Need for Speed is "Out Of Law", and it is really like it looks on these pictures, than it's just another of those f*cking Most Wanted-remixes. I don't think that would be good for EA.
looks like made on photoshop
IF they do make a new NFS game they need to keep that M3 because you never really got to use it in unless you created it yourself. In the newest game Pro Street the car is still there so LETS KEEP IT THAT WAY! Also I think it would be nice to have a mix of Mw and UC not to mention MORE cars and BETTER vinyls!
I think that NFS was really great until it dropped to great at Underground and went Excellent in Underground 2 then EXCELLENTE! at Most Wanted then to Really Great at Carbon than absolute $#1@ hole at ProStreet then ok at Undercover than Really Great again at SHIFT-Better than I thought at least but if they want to keep NFS alive I reckon get better police physics, as in they don't travel 500mph and have "ghost" mode (go through walls), more cars. That means bring in every aspect. Even go back to the Ford Model T for vintage races (not really that would be kinda strange driving 6km/h around track). I really mean bring back all the good tuners, muscles and exotics and also bring back FREE ROAM! I absolutely MISS FREE ROAM! That was a big thing that killed off fans at Sh-I mean-ProStreet. Also bring back the analogue gauges. Digital doesn't really make sense to me I mean only like prototypes have digital Tachs. It should be a customisable feature. Well I'm gonna head off now this is already too long a comment. Also for PC gamers who can't afford to upgrade PC's every 6 months to keep up with games, the minimum system requirements should be lower. Like more choice with graphics and audio quality. I only run a Core 2 Duo CPU @ 2.01GHz with a 800mb ATi Mobility Radeon HD2400 V-Card and 2 gig ram. Like jeez. Graphics aren't always everything in a game. You should have choice to be able to run it on a really old system with like Intel Pentium 4 CPUs @ 3.00GHz and like 512MB RAM. Some people can't afford this anymore. This should do this is gonna ending up taking a whole page :S
Sorry for double post but I told you that the comment I just made was too much haha
Well, fake or not, I like the screens :D Added the 1st to my desktop.
@tgomola: Underground 1 and Most Wanted were absolutely fine thank you very much.
I will admit, the newer games are nice. Sure, they are overly cheesy in most cases, the physics are overly exaggerated, and they require too much from a computer, but they are still good games. I still strongly believe, though, that they aren't deserving of the NFS name. That EA should have stuck to the original format and made the new stuff a completely separate series, or at least a spinoff. The old formula was great, exotic cars, driving fast in exotic locales, with cops as an option to race as and against. Don't get me wrong, the newer stuff is good, but not at all what NFS originally was. Ever since EA switched to the new format, the series has slowly died and become less enjoyable for me. The last NFS game that could possibly be considered a real NFS game was the ever-so-awesome Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2. The only gripe I really have about the older stuff is how it's very difficult to drift. Thats it. EA should definitely get back to basics and return to the original format, but I say, the bikes are more than welcome in my book. Go back to the old formula and I'll be happy, but if they do what is shown in these fake pics and I will probably give up on NFS.
is it NFSMW.
I know its FAKE! But it Looks AWESOME!!!!! I love the cops but I think they should be more like the cops in Midnight Club LA except let them use road blocks and not go 200 mph. Make it Free Roam. The biggest thing Drifting, and Drifting in free roam that looks cool and not dumb. I also would like to drive fast with out building up bad rep. Cops come only if you pass one or crash into alot of cars.
this not possible, bikes in NFS??? its a fake, i think..
anyone who takes rumors from a Russian gaming site deserves to be flogged in public, buck naked, and called a dumbass.
bikes in NFS? maybe: in Burnout i never think they gonna put bikes and a island but they put so if the next NFS comes with bikes wont be a surprise
KAWASAKI? AND WHAT KIND OF GTR IS IN PIC 1!
@csbr75
Dude the car is Nissan Skyline R32 GTR
well other than the bike and cuss word comment the first picture does look decent like artist renderings and the skyling bodykit does supports nfs previous hideous bodykit selections, but the second picture could still be legit, that BMW has been featured in every NFS game since Most Wanted.
Regardless of the flaws in the photo...when is this game comming out? Thanks for the NFS: Outlaw wall paper too! Motorcycles are a long overdue addition to the NFS series. Most $6000 bikes can kick a $200,000 Ferrari's azz anyway.
As far as EA not stooping so low as to allow a "cuss word" in a video game goes:
EA has no problem letting players murder, rape, pillage, steal, and homofagusexualize . But let them not allow a cuss word lest someone be influenced in a negative way from it.
EA must be run by Democratic scum.
ni men zai shuo shen me a?wo kan bu dong!
